The importance of being idle

I sold my soul for the second time
Cos the man don’t pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He said “Son the bills are waiting”
My best friend called me the other night
He said “Man – you crazy”
My girlfriend told me to get a life
She said “Boy – you lazy”

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute
A man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my hearts not in it

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute
A man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my hearts not in it

I lost my faith in the summer time
Cos it don’t stop raining
The sky all day is as black as night
But I’m not complaining
I begged my doctor for one more line
He said “Son – words fail me
It ain’t your place to be killing time”
I guess I’m just lazy

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine, if you give me a minute
A man’s got a limit
I can’t get a life if my hearts not in it
